Muffins

 

These are a favorite of my family. The ingredients can get a little more spendy, but the result is so yummy and healthy! This can be considered gluten free as there is no flour in it! But as always, check your labels! I don’t remember where I found this recipe.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins

½ cup butter or coconut oil

½ c honey

½ c cocoa powder

¾ c peanut butter or almond butter

4 large eggs

½ tsp baking soda

¾ c chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gently melt together butter and honey. Whisk in cocoa powder and peanut butter until smooth. Whisk in eggs and baking soda. Pour into lined or greased muffin tin. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until done. Yields 12 muffins. Note: I used coconut oil and peanut butter and they were moist and cakey.
